Scotland on Sunday
Our first bit of proper PR! We were kindly mentioned by Ian and Jen in the "at home" section last week of the Scotland on Sunday newspaper.
Having helped the couple with a few colour choices it was very good of them to give us a mention when detailing the suppliers they used to renovate their stunning Georgian town house. This project was completed towards the end of last year and the use of Greys and modern whites really enabled the couple to give the property a very classic feel with a totally contemporary look.
Addition of exterior paint to the Liquid imagination range
Having spent most of our 25 years in the business painting buildings outside w thought it was only right to add and exterior paint to the liquid imagination range.

VALTTI showcased their Liquidimagination brand by displaying a revamped 1940’s military bike. The paint used was developed in Finland after the 2nd World War occupation to offer Finnish citizens a sustainable way to personalize left over army bikes. Born out of necessity, painting bikes has since become a Finnish tradition.
The paint chosen was “Elephants Nightmare” a colour from the new Fauvism 55 range due to launch next week.
